| xubuntu52w | is this the proper place to ask about install issues? | 14:59 |
| knome | yes | 15:00 |
| xubuntu52w | I just installed xubuntu 15.10 and encountered bug 798414 . my boot partition was only 100 meg so i increased it to 1024 meg and 15.10 installed just fine. Was the boot sector filling up the correct assumption and making it bigger the correct solution? | 15:04 |

| xubuntu52w | i want to make sure I am not assuming a solution. | 15:05 |
| knome | xubuntu52w, likely so | 15:12 |
| knome | you don't explicitly even need a separate /boot partition though | 15:12 |

| xubuntu432 | knowns fixes? | 15:14 |
| xubuntu52w | knome, thanks, I didn't realize it wasnt needed. | 15:14 |
| knome | xubuntu52w, as long as you clean up old kernels, you should be fine with 1G | 15:15 |
| xubuntu52w | knome: I am bad at that :) | 15:15 |
| xubuntu52w | knome: I am planning on having 2 distros running | 15:16 |
| xubuntu52w | the hard drive is huge, whats a couple GB amongst friends. :) | 15:17 |
| knome | xubuntu52w, if you are still in the early intallation stage, you could also reinstall without a separate /boot | 15:17 |
| knome | everything that doesn't have a specific partition uses the space in the / partition | 15:18 |
| xubuntu52w | i just finished. | 15:19 |
| xubuntu52w | i'll leave it but keep it in my notes for next time. | 15:19 |
| xubuntu52w | i suppose I could disable it and let it default to / | 15:20 |
| knome | not sure if that would work after installing though | 15:21 |
| xubuntu52w | good to know. I'll leave well enough alone. :) | 15:21 |
| knome | but you could run a live-cd, then copy stuff from the /boot partition to the / partition, then disable and boot back to the installation | 15:21 |
| knome | that *should* work | 15:21 |
| xubuntu52w | thank you for your help | 15:22 |
| knome | np | 15:22 |
| knome | enjoy xubuntu | 15:22 |

| glumpy | how do I add my user to the group cdrom? | 17:55 |
| dkessel | glumpy: you should be able to do that in the system settings, in Users & Groups | 19:11 |
| glumpy | dkessel, Could it be that my user is already in the cdrom group? Because I see that under users and groups, under advanced, user privileges - use of cdrom drives is ticked. | 19:36 |
| dkessel | glumpy: that sure sounds so. Why do you want to add the user to the group? Maybe you're on the wrong track | 19:38 |
| glumpy | I'm using foobar2000 under wine. It works great, but can't burn cds (I think it doesn't recognize the cdrom). I read here: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12359#c12 that someone advised people to add their user to the cdrom group in order to be able to give wine access to the cdrom | 19:41 |
| ubottu | bugs.winehq.org bug 12359 in -unknown "Express Rip and Exact Audio Copy can't detect the CD drive" [Normal,New] | 19:41 |
| glumpy | dkessel, Are you using wine? | 19:41 |
| dkessel | glumpy: yes, but for burning media, i'd always rather use native applications | 19:44 |
| glumpy | xfburn and brasero fails too much, and I fear k3b will ruin xubuntu (cause it's xfce <> kde) | 19:47 |
| === Noneatme is now known as Noneatme|Away | ||
| glumpy | dkessel, Can you recommend something better than xfburn/brasero that can burn audio cds from various formats (mp3/flac/m4a..) | 20:43 |
| namespace | Um. | 21:19 |
| namespace | Am I supposed to be able to use su on a default xubuntu install? O_o | 21:19 |
| namespace | Kind of defeats the point of having a sudoers file. | 21:19 |
| namespace | (In particular, my totally unprivileged default user can use su, log into the privileged user and then sudo for root.) | 21:20 |
| knome | namespace, if the user has the password for a privileged user, why shouldn't they be able to use the privileges? | 21:22 |
| namespace | knome: Well, for one thing you're assuming that we're talking about a human at the console. | 21:27 |
| namespace | Which in the world of computer security is a real stupid assumption. I'm imagining a brute force program that runs su for a very long time until it gets in. | 21:27 |
| namespace | There's no penalty for doing so, so why wouldn't it? | 21:27 |
| namespace | Unless you have a cron job checking for somebody constantly running su/etc, there's no real chance of detection. | 21:29 |
| namespace | So you could feasibly have a payload for some exploit that just goes brute forcing for two months until it gets in. | 21:29 |
| namespace | It also defeats the point of having a separate user and admin account, which is considered best practice. | 21:31 |
| namespace | Since the user account can just su into the admin account, etc. | 21:31 |

| Logos01 | I apologize if this comes across as trolling but I was informed a few moments ago that someone gave advice to use the "su" binary to handle privilege escalations via an intermediary nonprivileged account which then has sudo rights. | 23:54 |
| Logos01 | Just wanted to drop this note so people could be informed: | 23:54 |
| Logos01 | http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32455684/difference-between-real-user-id-effective-user-id-and-saved-user-id | 23:54 |
| Logos01 | Basically, system audits can keep track of how account/privilege escalation is done via sudo, but cannot do so via "su". If you're going to allow account changes, using "sudo -iu ${nonroot_account}" is *much* better than "su - ${nonroot_account}". | 23:55 |
| Logos01 | I apologize for this interruption. | 23:55 |
